I don't know what was going on with others finding this blade to small to fit. I tested it on a few different blocks from different manufactures that were produced over the last 20 years and it fit fine on all of them. I rate is an upper mid-level fully functional product. the finish is a little rough but honestly who cares. it works.

Still doesn't fit

Pros: It is cheap

Cons: It doesn't fit a 66 terminal

There are numerous reviews saying this blade won't fit a 66 block. Later followups seemed to indicate the issue was fixed. I took a chance and ordered one. They are still too small. I've already requested a RMA refund.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello Tripp,

Thank you for your review and my apologies for the issues you have experienced with PID 7045. A shame it didn't work out for your needs.. Ill be sure to pass this info along to our product team to further investigate the matter. Sorry again for the trouble and thanks for your support!

Cons: I have two of these bits, and both are too small to fit over the terminal. The replacement bit is even smaller than the original.

I discovered these bit problem comments after my defective bit arrived. This bit probelm has not been corrected. I pointed out that this is a known problem, but was blindly sent another useless bit. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.

by Monoprice AdministratorHi Larry,

Sorry for the problems you are having with the punch down blade not fitting over the terminal properly. I have notified our Product Team of the issue so they can review and test out this blade. In the meantime if you like I can issue you an RMA for a return. I would just need an order number to get the process started. Again my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Sincerely

Tjayi MaloneTech Support

Re-tooled punchdown bit works

Pros: Inexpensive, works

Cons: Only that the previous iteration did not function

I had reviewed previously stating that the tool did not function as it could not fit over the 66-block contact. The bit has since been re-tooled and now works great.
